    /**
    @brief
        Base class to display content directly onto the screen.
        This is merely a wrapper of the Ogre::Overlay to implement more features and integrate it
        in our class hierarchy for xml loading and config values.
        The mentioned features are:
        - Automatic positioning depending on the scale and the rotation angle.
          You can specify a "pick point" relative to the overlay itself. This point will always be exactly
          at the position (position_) of the overlay. That allows for margin/corner aligment.
          It even works when a rotation angle is applied.
        - Virtual methods for changedVisibilty() (BaseObject), angleChanged(), sizeCorrectionChanged(),
          sizeChanged() and positionChanged(), that can be overridden by any derivative. This enables for
          custom configurability of the size, position and rotation attributes. For intance, the HUDNavigation
          should behave differently to sizeChanged() than a standard overlay.
        - Console commands for scale, rotate and scroll (accessed by name)
        - Standard Ogre::PanelOverlayElement for a background image (class doesn't have to be derived
          only for displaying a picture).
        - Reacts to changes of the window aspect
        - Last but not least: On demand you can tell the overlay to automatically resale to correct for
          aspect distortion. E.g. if you play 1024x768 you wouldn't want a round object to be oval.
          Remark: This can (due to the Ogre::Overlay transformation order) only work for angle that are
                  multiples of 90 degrees. But it's only a small drawback.
